NEW YORK NEW YORK – Really good light in the alley behind 1185 Park, Captured with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm APO Summichron. Later in the day in Warren: same camera with the lovely 28mm Elmar lens.

WAAREN CONNECTICUT – I strapped my 1945 Carl Zeiss Sonnar lens onto my Leica Monochrom today and went out into the blazing fall landscape shooting . . . black and white of course. This is a remarkable lens that renders the Fall light beautifully, providing greater transparency into shadows than a modern lens, and slightly diffused highlights.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Have I said this before? Reviewing the infrastructure for this site I noted that I have key words for “Fall”, “Winter” and “Spring”, but not “Summer”. I guess that’s because summer feels like the normal state of affairs, but statistically that’s not true – winters are actually a bigger deal here. Visually what summer means to me is green stuff overgrowing and pressing in on us. So I’ve added “Summer” as a keyword and you’ll see a bit of it here over the next month.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – We drove up here this morning seeking refuge from what’s happening in our life in New York – helping out with a very sick friend who has been hospitalized with cancer. It is a perfect summer weekend so we got serious down time.
